well balanced?

So sorry it has been days since I have posted. I am so sorry to all my fans(tongue in cheek). I feel like there has been not much to report since the FOS syndrome.

While I was VERY busy yesterday morning..I had some time to IM a friend with whom I played the second half of "Family Fude." I lost...so hard for me, I usually win. Anyhow, a friend from when I was a kid.Ya see my family was fortunate enough to have a "summer home" so we had summer friends, and "regular" friends. During the summer...wow great times...fun times.

There was a group of us that hung out....2 sisters, a girl down the road, a big brother that was not my own, and various others along the way.

OK I must say that the family that had the 2 girls and the big brother, were 2 doors down...but not really doors...hopped a couple of fences along the lakeside.

Good times...I tell ya I got in to trouble a lot...I feel like I was grounded most of my teenage years. I would be grounded to the yard...which included the dock...so my friends would come by in their boats...and talk to me on the dock. ALSO my mom was a HUGE Gardner...and I would have to help often in the garden. There was a fence on the side of our property, where my friends would walk by and call me "slave." So I would be weeding and harvesting while my friends that had "freedom" and walk by. Calling me "slave" as they passed by.

As an aside...I am also a HUGE Gardner, and I am proud to be so, and give my mom full credit for it.

Ok so on with the story. So at one point I had asked to go for pizza(there was a place about 5 miles from the cabin) Dad, sd  NO! I sd, "ok I am just gonna go for  a walk"....we walked a lot around the lake often...gone for hours...but we just walked...mostly.

I, of course, lied...went for pizza, ug my dad owned a roofing company...he had ladder racks on his truck...you could hear them coming from miles away.  I had an, "oh shit" moment. I  KNEW I was in trouble.
Mind you, I was only eating pizza, and soda. I tried to escape to the bathroom to hide..I heard my dad outside the door, "where is Ann?" Everyone played dumb...but no one thought to remove the glass of soda, or the plate where I had been sitting. I was stuck...UG I had to come out of the bathroom, and knew I was so BUSTED, I then slinked into the truck with the ladder racks, and was grounded AGAIN!
